Zephyr Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Sunday, July 25, 2010 at 12:00PM 
The UK-built Zephyr unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has confirmed its place in aviation history as the "first eternal" plane.
The solar-powered craft has completed two weeks of non-stop flight above a US Army range in Arizona and is now being commanded to make a landing.
The Qinetiq company which developed Zephyr says the UAV has nothing to prove by staying in the air any longer.

I see that you are interested about Aerial Vehicles.Doing my research I find one amazing book about it. It is free to download at this location: http://www.intechopen.com/books/show/title/aerial_vehicles
Great book If you ask me.
It talks about stabilization, controlling, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Formation Flight Using Sliding Mode Disturbance Observers, Towards Safer Operations etc.
Hope you will enjoy it like I do.
